Buckingham Palace is Pretty Cool

I wanted to go to the Royal Mews where you can see all the carriages and the horses and stuff, but apparently 55 degrees is too cold for the horses or the workers to be outside and it is closed until March. So I decided to visit the Queen’s Galary, which was decently interesting.

There were a lot of Victorian and religious paintings of people, where I usually found myself looking at the frame instead of the picture. What I really liked was the ornate furniture like chairs, sofas, cabinets, clocks, and desks. Also the queen’s jewelry and crowns and snuff boxes are so cool. However, there was almost never a number on the audio tour for these things, but there was a number for like every other boring painting.

Fun things I learned:

B uckingham Palace has 600 rooms with 52 bedrooms and 78 bathrooms. More than 400 people work there.-thank you national geographic londres.

Queen Charlotte used to make her servants dress as Indians when they served her tea and as Turks when they served her coffee. Queen Isabella was barren and to make up for this had several dwarves that she cared for as her children-not sure but maybe she was a little off because of the incest that went on during those times.
